“What a wonderful experience, can't wait to come back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2013

I went for a weekend scrap-booking retreat with a group of ten other women, and we could not have had a more wonderful time. The weekend began with a mix-up on our reservation and Candice went out of her way to accommodate us, even though she had planned for us being there on a different night. The rooms were beautiful...

This place was great, our casita was delightful with suburb design for the best mountain view, comfort and focus on small details. Made to order breakfasts added to the experience. Everyone was super helpful and accommodating.
